Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijô wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyû Kimama na Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu suru

Love otome games and strong female leads? "7th Loop" is a must-watch! It takes classic villainess tropes and injects new life into them, making it both familiar and refreshing. It's easily one of the best anime of Winter 2024.

Reincarnation stories are a dime a dozen, but "7th Loop" stands out. Our heroine, Rishe, isn't just reborn once, she's on her seventh life! This experience gives her incredible depth. Unlike most fantasy characters, her knowledge and skills feel earned. Having lived through six other lives, she's perfectly equipped to tackle any challenge and prevent a devastating war.

Unlike stereotypical heroines, Rishe is independent and strong-willed. She refuses to be controlled and pursues her own happiness - a quality more authors should explore in female characters. Forget swooning maidens! Rishe is a fierce soul with her own goals and identity, even with a prince as her fiancé.

The romance between Rishe and Arnold is a highlight. It's fantastic to see a powerful woman like Rishe heal and challenge a troubled young man. Their connection starts political, but blossoms into something genuine. Importantly, they remain distinct individuals. Unlike typical Shoujo tropes, their love doesn't erase their personalities. They're strong on their own, but even better together. This, to me, reflects a true and mature relationship.

Season 1 is a winner! It blends political intrigue with a sweet romance between Rishe and Arnold. There's a fascinating twist: Rishe encounters people from her past lives, some who've changed and some who haven't. Plus, Arnold's hidden goals add another layer of mystery. Forget the usual cliches - no demon lords or love triangles here. It's refreshingly realistic and the story benefits greatly.

Stunning visuals! Rishe and everyone else look amazing, staying true to the light novel's art. The animation is solid, with some stand-out scenes like the dance. Overall, a well-produced show.

If you're looking for great isekai stories with strong female leads, check out 7th Loop. This manga all feature powerful women who forge their own paths, along with engaging storylines, intricate plots that extend beyond just romance, and well-developed supporting characters. In my opinion, that's the winning formula for this genre, and 7th Loop nails it perfectly.

The idea was nice but there isn't much of a story to hold on to. Not a lot of character development or relationships. It's very bland. The artwork is great though.

The main character is your typical head strong female lead but as the episodes continued, I was bored with her and wanted to focus more on the prince and his story or see more romance bloom between the two.

I don't know, it's just awkward to me. Could have been better. Most characters are depressing too. I think there just needs to be a better, more captivating story and things would be fine. The little action that did happen was a joke. If there is a second season, I hope they bring the action.

I believe I can speak for everyone who has watched this anime, that it definitely deserves a season 2 no matter the rating. This is an absolute anime that is need to be watched by everyone who is a big fan of romance anime. I absolutely love the cute romantic parts of this anime, definitely deserves more scenes with rishe and Arnold. The light novel is so good and I really think this anime will be unstoppable if it got a season 2 and the light novel is so impeccably good. In addition, we see more progression between the two, the slow burn is working very well. I also wish that Arnold could spend more time and have more romantic scenes with fish and that Arnold could tell rishe to stop addressing him so formally.

7th Time Loop has a well executed balance of comedy, drama, and romance. The animation and sound editing are excellent. The voice acting is fine, unfortunately it is currently just English Subtitles. This charming story has similarities to "Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion" and I expect people who like one will like the other. However, I enjoy "7th Time Loop" the most.

The main character is Rishe Weitzner, who was raised by her parents to marry the local prince. When the prince suddenly falls for another woman and cancels their engagement, he accuses Rishe of false crimes and her parents reject her. Abandoned and homeless, Rishe strikes out to start a new life of her own making.

The story only gives brief flashbacks, but we learn that Rishe has previously lived 6 times until the age of 20. She chose widely different lives, yet each one ended with premature death caused in some way by Arnold Hein, Crown Prince of the Hyne Kingdom.

Rishe is now in her 7th time loop, and this time (after being dumped again) she becomes engaged to her mortal enemy - Arnold Hein. As the story progresses, she tries to understand the causes behind Arnold's cold harsh personality and tries to change his circumstances so she won't die in the future. She is also determined to live a fulfilling life, regardless of when she might die.

Arnold Hein looks at Rishe as a self-determined free spirit and watches her living a happy life he wishes he could have. His real feelings for her grow, yet Rishe assumes they are just an act.

Careful writing creates a unique blend of comedy, romance, tension between future killer and victim, and mysterious psychological trauma in the royal family.

This is not fluff, but it is not so heavy-handed that you will find it depressing. I highly recommend it. If you want the full story in English, seek out the translated light novel series, or even the manga adaption.

I absolutely adore this anime, will always be my favourite, however I do wish that there would be more scenes with rishe and Arnold, like in episode 7. I do appreciate how in every episode the author tries to add in a small section of them but I do believe as they are the main characters they deserve more scenes together. I love the cute resonance between them and how it is slowly progressing and would love a season 2. I know that many other people like me would die for season 2, I believe that it will become more popular and known if there is a season 2. I am currently reading the night novel and absolutely love the progressing romance between them and how they don't rush it. The slow burn is definitely working but we just need another season.
